Canning on Induction Top Stove Tops

by Angela
(Mountlake Terrace, WA)

Hi there,
I was wondering if you or anyone out there has ever canned using the water bath method on an induction cooktop?

It's supposed to help in getting the water to a boil quickly but is there any issue with length of time being shorter?
Thanks!

Answer: (or not)

Hi Angela,

That is a great question that I have no answer for. I did a search and could find nothing on canning on an induction cook top.

Hopefully someone else has information to share. Sorry I am not of more help on this one.

I'll do some more research and see if I can find anything. In the mean time.... if anyone else has information. Please feel free to leave a comment!

starstarstarstarstar 		Canning on Induction stove tops
by: Cheryl Y

I've done my canning on my glass top induction stove. It works okay for me. I was originally told that it was not safe for two reasons:

#1, the stovetop is made to adjust to the heat, therefore turning on and off as necessary. Because of that, there was concern that it wouldn't keep the water hot enough to can.

#2 If the canner is larger than the induction burner, then you run the risk of burning out the burner and damaging your stove.

I purchased a pressure canner that had a smaller area on the bottom that fit the burner and it has reached pressure very well for me and my stove has not suffered.

My water bath canner is an old fashioned one and I took the risk and used it--it worked fine and didn't damage my stove--but it was still a risk.

Since it needs to be magnetic, aluminum won't work, correct? Therefore cannot use All American Pressure cookers. What brand did you use?
